How to run PowerShell in CMD

Question

I m trying to run a PowerShell script inside cmd command line  Someone gave me an example and it worked   powershell exe -noexit   amp   c  Data ScheduledScripts ShutdownVM ps1     But the problem is my PowerShell script has input parameters  so I tried  but it doesn t work   powershell exe -noexit   amp   D  Work SQLExecutor ps1 -gettedServerName  MY-PC        The error is      The term  D  Work SQLExecutor ps1 -gettedServerName  MY-PC    is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet  function    How can I fix this problem

You need to separate the arguments from the file path:

powershell.exe -noexit "& 'D:\Work\SQLExecutor.ps1 ' -gettedServerName 'MY-PC'"

Another option that may ease the syntax using the File parameter and positional parameters:

powershell.exe -noexit -file "D:\Work\SQLExecutor.ps1" "MY-PC"

I d like to add the following to Shay Levy s correct answer  You can make your life easier if you create a little batch script run cmd to launch your powershell script    echo off  amp  setlocal set batchPath   dp0 powershell exe -noexit -file   batchPath SQLExecutor ps1   MY-PC    Put it in the same path as SQLExecutor ps1 and from now on you can run it by simply double-clicking on  run cmd      Note     If you require command line arguments inside the run cmd batch  simply pass them as  1      9  or use    to pass all parameters  to the powershell script  i e  powershell exe -noexit -file   batchPath SQLExecutor ps1     The variable batchPath contains the executing path of the batch file itself  this is what the expression   dp0 is used for   So you just put the powershell script in the same path as the calling batch file
